from what I understood, the 8 words in camelcase form 32 characters and then sha256 (8words) forms the private key

I made a javascript script to test multiple combinations with 8 words that add 32 characters and did not succeed, several people tried it, this tool is very good for testing https://github.com/dan-v/bruteforce-bitcoin-brainwallet

I don't think it's a troll - I'll give it a little bit more time and then, if I can't solve it, drop my thoughts here.
When you have enough letters to play with, you can make it fit (almost) anything. But the answer I've got so nearly fits the criteria, and reflects the principle hidden between the lines of the question very neatly (I can't say more without giving it away).
But I cannot figure out how it's slimmed down to 32 letters. I am missing something.
Thank you for the tool.
